I Lost A Lovely Dream

Oh, somewhere in the deep, dark night,
I lost a lovely dream –
It drifted through my sleeping hours,
Just like a sparkling stream.

It left an imprint on my mind,
That I will ne’er forget –
Such was the beauty of its form,
Upon my heart now set.

I’ve searched within my memory,
This dream to now recall –
But only shadows linger there,
It’s gone, once and for all.

It melted into vapoured clouds,
Then floated far away –
Becoming just an image lost,
As night turned into day.

I know my dream was beautiful,
It filled my heart with glee –
Oh, that I could recall it now,
It was so lov-el-y.
